Pets to People

Sunny visits with a resident at Seaport Landing

The Pets to People program is a three-way partnership involving Olympic Mountain Pet Pals volunteers, their beloved family pets and the residents of local assisted living homes. The program was created in light of numerous studies highlighting the health benefits of pet therapy. It is widely recognized that pets make us feel safe, accepted and happy, and that holding or petting a dog can boost our mental and physical health.

If you would like to volunteer for the Pets to People program, please contact Lana O’Neill at (602) 400-7890.

Read to Rover begins at Salish Coast Elementary School

Read to Rover got off to a late start at the new Port Townsend Elementary School. But thanks to the efforts of Laura Joshel who worked closely with the school staff, it is off to a good start. There are 10 therapy dog teams meeting every Monday in the school library.
